The Be Ruthless Show is a place where we’ll be having the conversations other people don’t. The conversations other people won’t. In order to do that, I’m going BIG and BOLD. I’m anxious, I’m proud, and I’ll shout it for the world to hear. The shame game has got to stop, and it starts with US not being ashamed of OURSELVES! Look out, world. I’m ready to make a lot of NOISE and DISRUPT things…. Rut... more

  • Where’d she go?!

    Where have the episodes gone?! These were so entertaining to listen to… I just hope she isn’t still living like a disgusting rat trying to pay her bills by scamming people! Classic behavior from these people- been this way for thousands of years.

  • “I’m a victim” podcast.

    This lady is nothing more than part of the biggest problem in our modern world. People who think their lives are hard because of the fact that they’re not responsible enough to take charge of their own lives and be an adult.
